neadodsMarch 8. Go in for regular oil change. They find leak; valves replaced.
March 10. Alternator blows. Replaced, along with serpentine belt.
March 17. Engine running hot & coolant light blinking. Tell Mr. Tire people that they're lovely & all, but must get through a month without seeing them. They top off coolant for free. Engine happy. So am I, figuring that I can now stop dealing with car until I save up to replace suspension later.
March 29. Am leaving bank when a truck backs up into me, crushing hood.
ETA: I am okay, if you overlook the twitch. (I must have looked like death at at the scene, both the guy who hit me and the witness kept petting my arm reassuringly.) The car... moves. It needs a new hood and a new headlight mount and I'm not sure what else, but it's driveable.
